The Madelyn Moon Show (Previously Mind Body Musings)

Episode 72: Born in Finland to an agronomist father and nursing teacher mother, Tero Isokauppila adopted a natural foods lifestyle at a young age. Growing up on the farm which has been in his family since 1619, he began foraging wild edibles early on. A modern nomad, Tero has spent the last decade living and studying all over the world. While his focus has been on providing health tips to professional athletes, models, and business people, his goal is to expand that reach to the masses via Four Sigma. Today, Tero splits his time between New York and Los Angeles, when he is not traveling around the world “working for the mushrooms.” In his spare time, he loves to make raw chocolate and practice yin yoga.

Episode 68: In this episode of the Mind Body Musings Podcast, I discuss 3 ways to positively influence recovery by using the power of your mind and only your mind. Nope, you don't have to do anything other than changing the way you view what's going on around you. The amazing thing about this is that your mind is the only thing you CAN change. Instead of obsessing over a comment somebody made, you can choose to let it fly away into the abyss of negative thoughts, and instead, adopt a victor mindset that will leave you feeling empowered and grateful.

Episode 64: In this episode of the MBM podcast, I discuss the difference in relationships before, during and after disordered eating recovery. As you all know, I completely understand what it's like to try to relate to other people, such as friends, family members and lovers, during an eating disorder. It feels almost impossible to go out and have a good time when you can't stop the overwhelming fear about your food choices, body image, and sense of control from bubbling over your limits for how much anxiety you can handle in a day. Sometimes, it was just so much easier to turn down a date or happy hour with my friends because the stress of "how many calories are in that?" was just too much to handle. Until, I made the commitment to try.  It was simple. Just go out and be intimate with the moment, and see what happens. You'll find out exactly that in this episode! Show notes: Dream relationship exercise How living in defense mode was inevitable during my disordered eating days, and also exhausting How you know when you're entering the "during" phase Why dating in the "during"phase is like free coaching The best thing you can do after a date to keep the intimacy going Letting go of your desire to control the status of the relationship, as you let go of control over food The momentum aspect of the "after" portion of self-discovery [Tweet "Want to know the difference between relationships before, during and after #ED recovery?"]Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
